They ate happily in the yard outside. Ye Lulu drank half a bowl of bone soup, and his whole body was already warm. Hearing Aunt Rong's words about going to the kitchen to stir-fry some more green vegetables, a group of men and children were so greedy that they ate so much that they actually had too much food and the food was a bit insufficient.
Aunt Rong also came into the house and asked her how her meal was and if there was anything else she wanted to eat. Ye Lulu thought of Aunt Rong tending the vegetables planted beside the house during the day. She said that there were beans, cabbage, peas, spinach, cucumbers, peppers, etc. in the vegetable field. There were many types of vegetables. Suddenly she thought of the tender pea seedlings now. The temperature is just right and you can eat it, but you have a craving for some fresh green vegetables.
She raised her head and said to Aunt Rong, "Mom, are the pea shoots in the field edible? I want to eat some pea shoots."
Aunt Rong was surprised, the pea seedling? Can this still be eaten
Seeing Aunt Rong's stunned look, Ye Lulu could vaguely sense that people in this dynasty seemed to be very conservative in eating.
Or is it just that the mountains are too closed and people are afraid of getting sick, so the food is very monotonous
"Mom, you can pinch off the pointed ones on the pea shoots and eat them. They are called pea shoots or pea tips. They are a type of vegetable. Have you never eaten sweet potato leaves?"
Aunt Rong shook her head in confusion.
Sweet potato vines are only used to feed pigs. Villagers only eat what they grow in their own vegetable fields, unless they are some familiar wild vegetables.
Ye Lulu: "..."
"We eat pea shoots in our hometown," Ye Lulun simply used another excuse, paving the way for the future. "We eat many kinds of food there, with various dishes and recipes. I will tell my mother later. Pea shoots are If you can eat it, blanch it in bone soup. It’s the most delicious, tender and fresh, and eating it is good for your body.”
After hearing what Ye Lulu said, Aunt Rong nodded quickly, turned around and went out to the vegetable patch at home, pinching the tips of a handful of peas.
Back in the kitchen, there is still a little bit of bone broth left. You must know that there are many housekeepers, and the pots used to cook and make soup are all very large, and the quantities they cook are also large.
Originally, this bit of bone broth was meant to be used to make bone broth porridge for Ye Lulu later, but Ye Lulu just said that a bowl of white rice would be enough for her, and there was no need for a late night snack.
Aunt Rong washed the fresh pea shoots, boiled the bone soup again, and scalded the pea shoots.
The method of blanching pea shoots inspired Aunt Rong. Aunt Rong simply chopped a radish. White radish is cold in nature and the leaves are not delicious just after giving birth, but the family can eat it.
The blanched pea shoots were placed in the bone soup, and a small bowl was served to Ye Lulun.
For the rest, Aunt Rong let the white radish simmer in the rich bone soup for a while. The mellow flavor of pork bones and bone marrow in the soup spread into the stewed radish, and then Aunt Rong took it out. .
Ye Lulu ate some fresh pea shoots in soup in the house. The strong aroma of the bone soup combined with the fragrance of the peas, and the smooth and fresh taste of the vegetables made people tremble, and the whole body felt extremely comfortable. .
Even if only a little salt is added, it is as thick as bone broth. This small bowl of pea sprouts in soup is still very enjoyable to eat.
The biggest advantage of a farm is that the ingredients are very fresh, especially the vegetables, which are grown in the fields and the air is fresh, which is a unique blessing.
Bone meat, freshly blanched pea shoots, soaked in bone broth and white rice together, Ye Luluo ate it with relish.
